“…This country was invaded in three successive waves, on 25-29 June, 12 July, and 16 July. The swarms then spread over much of Nepal in about 10 days [31,32] (Figure 1). This Himalayan region on the southern border of Tibet has four valleys (ChenTang, Gama, Zhangmu, and Jilong) leading into Nepal and of relatively low altitude.…”

Desert Locust is an important pest to agriculture. In 2019-2020, a major upsurge originated in the southern Arabian Peninsula gradually spread to East Africa, then to South-West Asia, as far as Pakistan and India, even reaching Nepal, resulting in major agricultural losses. For the first time, a few swarms have entered southern Tibet. Using field observations and experiments, we studied their path to the Tibetan plateau and their behaviour at these very high altitudes. The locusts have moved up the Tibetan valleys from low-lying areas (1700 m) to much higher elevations (5400 m). The low temperatures and high humidity put them under severe stress; their activities were limited, and they did not survive long or produce local offspring. It is clear that the high-altitude environmental conditions in the Himalayan mountains provided an important natural barrier that limited the northward expansion of the desert locust populations.

“…Biogas production through anaerobic digestion generates nutrientrich slurry, comprising over 90% water, with substantial plant nutrient contents like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) [2]. This nutrient-rich slurry can enhance the quality and output of organic fertilizers and benefit plant growth [3]. Various research and studies have investigated dewatering technologies.…”

The project addresses the pressing need for organic fertilizers in Nepal and explores an eco- friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers. By dewatering biogas residue, this research contributes to sustainable agriculture practices. The project's methodology involved a combination of research, literature recommendations, and guidance from experienced supervisors. SolidWorks was utilized for the design phase, while ANSYS facilitated simulation works. Subsequently, the testing of the dewatering machine was conducted. The biogas slurry used for testing and sun-drying was sourced from a prototype 1m3 capacity biogas plant. The machine's performance was evaluated at various operating speeds, with 8 rpm identified as the most efficient. Notable outcomes included a liquid yield of 52.51%, an extraction efficiency of 79.11%, and extraction losses amounting to 22.80%. To enhance the quality of the organic fertilizer, the slurry sample underwent sun-drying for different durations: 24, 48, and 72 hours. Nutrient concentrations (TS, N, P, K) were analyzed, that came with the 48-hour sun-drying period proving to be the most effective in reducing Total Solid contents. Comparatively, pre-treating the slurry sample for 24 and 48 hours prior to testing in the dewatering machine allowed for an assessment of the machine's efficiency, offering valuable insights to be contrasted with the sun-drying process. This research paves the way for a greener, more efficient method of dewatering biogas slurry, aligning with Nepal's agricultural and environmental sustainability goals.

“…Biogas waste or bioslurry can be liquid or semi-liquid with a higher nitrogen content than manure and compost. Based on this content, bioslurry is recommended as fertilizer, however, the transportation of this liquid waste is difficult to do in the field [13]. The manufacture of organic liquid fertilizer begins with bioslurry filtering, then adds molasses.…”

Banyuwangi District is one of the largest areas that have an agricultural land area in East Java. Kalibaru Wetan village located in Kalibaru Sub-district has 311 Ha for harvest area and 61.29% for society who work in the agriculture sector. The concept of an integrated environment in agricultural waste, cattle farming waste, and household waste has economic value for society and can support sustainable development. The research aimed to analyze the potential and treatment methods of agricultural waste, cattle farming waste, and household waste. Furthermore, planning implementation of technically integrated environment concept. The methodology research has begun with collecting primary-secondary data and processing data with the concepts and literature studies. The environmental analysis is used for determining the processing method for wastes so that the processing method can be more sustainable for society. The idea of an integrated environment in this study consisted of processing straw into cattle feed, agricultural waste into compost, cattle farming waste into biogas, bio-slurry into liquid fertilizer, waste sorting programs, and planting training. The biogas results can cover the 288 houses that spread in 3 RW. The integrated concept was sustained and related with the others so that the integrated concept has potential benefit to society if implemented in Kalibaru Village.
